@Anne-Swiftblade HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *all of the many thumbs up* *throws much confetti and other celebratory things* *adds more ice cream and cake to the pile* One can never have too much cake and ice cream. 😀 😀 😀

@sarah-h Duolingo is an awesome resource for language learning! I’m also learning Spanish currently, so if you want a non-judgemental practice buddy, I’d be more than happy to lend a hand! 😉 I need help myself since I’ll probably be interning somewhere in Latin/South America this coming summer. 🙂

LOL! I wasn’t offended at all! XD XD XD I was just letting ya know I was jumping in on that prayer request. 😉 No sweat at all! I just wanted to jump the gun and pray. 8D Sorry for the confusion. *chills in corner of social awkwardness creators*

@clairec *wasn’t tagged* *but imma pray anyways* You’ve got it, girl! Love this idea. 😉

Does the Hero’s Journey count as one (e.g. Star Wars)? That’d probably be my favorite if I had to pick one. That being said (as is probably evident from the fact that I write free-verse poetry), I’m a lot like @hope in that I just kinda go with whatever is happening in the story. If it follows a structure, great. If not, it’s not a huge concern as…[Read more]

@bluejay Of course it is! XD 😀

@overcomer I am a huge fan of this! Definitely something that I imagine being read at a coffee house type of event. I think it was pretty solid there until the very end, and then I think you lost some momentum with a few unwieldy stanzas. The last stanza was good though. 🙂 I love the motif of “waiting to be written, waiting to be read” that you…[Read more]

@bluejay The struggle is so real. Like, I’ll be walking around at school mad for no reason, and then it occurs to me that I haven’t written anything in a few weeks. xD And then I’m like “TO THE LIBRARY computer so I can words for a little while, ‘kay everyone?”

LOVE THIS IDEA! *high five* @Dragon-Snapper Also love all these awesome responses! Y’all are some pretty motivated people. 🙂

Reasons I Write:
1) It’s how I process things. (This applies to poetry especially.)
2) I can learn (a surprisingly large amount) from what I write.
3) Writing is a teaching tool. But a really cool, not boring one, so…[Read more]

Woohoo! Awesome job stepping in, Tessa! 🙂

My votes:

1) Through the Looking Glass
2) The Hobbit (Or LotR in general, am I right, y’all?)
3) The Butterfly Lion (That one just sounds cool.)

@bluejay YASSSSSSSSSS! ALWAYS SUBMIT!

As far as ideas go, you could totally do a series of poems on the miracles of Jesus. That would be really awesome. 🙂

@bluejay DUDETTE! THIS IS AWESOME! SUBMIT IT!!! 😀

@bluejay Absolutely! Good luck with it (and enjoy), friend! 🙂

Hi, Gabrielle! I have not, but I know that a couple of the other staff members (Haley Long and Reagan Ramm, I think), and they both really enjoyed it. I would track them down and ask though!

Definitely dropped the ball on this. Sorry I was absent for this book (which I still need to read now). I’ll try and jump in on the next book! 🙂

So looking forward to this! 😀 I’ve been trying to read some Sherlock Holmes for a long while. xD

Sweet! Love these nominations! 🙂

1. Through the Looking Glass
2. The Hobbit
3. The Scarlet Letter

Yasssssss! Thanks for the invite. I’ll mostly just be dumping my feelings into poetry this summer since I’ll be gone a pretty good bit. 😀 But it’s a project nonetheless! So yeah. Y’all are cool. Summer writing clubs are cool. And I look forward to talking writing with everyone. 🙂
